This extension renders a task item list element, which is a `<li>` tag with a `data-type` attribute set to `taskItem`. It also renders a checkbox inside the list element, which updates a `checked` attribute.

This extension doesn’t require any JavaScript framework, it’s based on Vanilla JavaScript.

```bash
# With npm
npm install @tiptap/extension-task-list @tiptap/extension-task-item

# Or: With Yarn
yarn add @tiptap/extension-task-list @tiptap/extension-task-item
